Reading Panel.

The regional meeting will be held on

Auditorium, 1400 Murrah Drive,

Jackson, MS 39202. This meeting will

begin at 10:00 AM and is expected to

adjourn at 3:00 or 4:00 PM. The entire

meeting will be open to the public.

Previous regional meetings were held as

announced in Chicago, IL on May 29,

Portland, OR on June 5, Houston, TX on

June 8, and New York, NY on June 23.

The national meeting will be held on

July 24 in Building 31, C-Wing, 6th floor

Conference Room area, at National

Institutes of Health, 9000 Rockville

Pike, Bethesda, Maryland 20892. The

meeting is tentatively scheduled to

begin at 9:00 AM and is expected to

adjourn at 4:00 PM. The entire meeting

will be open to the public.

The National Reading Panel was

requested by Congress and created by

the Director of the National Institute of

Child Health and Human Development

in consultation with the Secretary of

Education. The Panel will study the

effectiveness of various approaches to

teaching children how to read and

report on the best ways to apply these

findings in classrooms at at home. Its

members include prominent reading

researchers, teachers, child

development experts, leaders in

elementary and higher education, and

parents. The Chair of the Panel is Dr.

Donald N. Langenberg, Chancellor of the

University System of Maryland.

The Panel will build on the recently

announced findings presented by the

National Research Council’s Committee

on the Prevention of Reading

Difficulties in Young Children. Based on

a review of the literature, the Panel will:

determine the readiness for application

in the classroom of the results of these

research studies; identify appropriate

means to rapidly disseminate this

information to facilitate effective

reading instruction in the schools; and

identify gaps in the knowledge base for

reading instruction and the best ways to

close these gaps.

The purpose of the meetings of the

Panel will be to provide an opportunity

for interaction between the panel

members regarding the Panel’s charge

and to receive input from experts and

the general public regarding that charge.

Through these interactions the Panel

hopes to make its task clear to others

while gaining useful input from those it

intends to inform. A period of time will

be set aside for members of the public

to address the Panel and express their

views regarding the Panel’s mission.

Individuals desiring an opportunity to

speak before the Panel should address

their requests to F. William Dommel, Jr.,

Executive Director, National Reading

Panel, c/o Ms. Amy Andryszak and

permitting, each public speaker will be

allowed five minutes to present his or

her views. In the event of a large

number of public speakers, the Panel

Chair retains the option to further limit

the presentation time allowed to each.
